You are now aware Chespin is the first Grass starter that isn't based on a reptile.

And unless Gamefreak does something stupid, Fennekin will probably be the first fire starter that stays as a quadruped. Although, I guess Typhlosion stays on all fours sometimes.

Most of us were aware of that when Fennekin was new.

He's supposedly one of the first mammals, signifying the move from dinosaur/reptilian lifeforms.

If they turn him into a Megatherium-style beast, I'll say fair enough. But don't try and pass your theory off as being gospel when you are as in the dark as me as to what's going to happen with him.

The zodiac animals are what they are, there's no such thing as 'close enough' it's either the animal the zodiac specifies or it's not.

A fox is not a dog. A fox is a fox. Foxes and dogs are two different animals.

Typhlosion is also quite clearly not a mouse, it's a badger or something like that.

Quoted By: >>12021335 >>12021349

Just to clarify, Wartortle gets its tail from being based on a Minogame. Squirtle's tail is probably supposed to be a earlier stage of that, since the Minogame tail is supposed to be made of seaweed and represent longevity, so you have the undeveloped Squirtle and the more developed Wartortle. (and then Blastosie just ignores it all) There isn't really any evidence that its supposed to be a squirrel turtle or anything like that, since its original Japanese name doesn't really reflect that at all, and the people naming the thing for the US probably just thought of Squirt + Turtle, rather than anything that has to do with Squirrels.

Most of the fanart for potential evolutions are predicting that the dinosaur hoodie thing it's wearing will encompass a lot of the design.

It may turn out to be a half-mammal half-reptile for all we know. Because that tail certainly isn't mammalian.

So Bulbasaur took inspiration from toads and lizards, and Torterra took inspiration from anklyosaruses and tortoises.
